Chapter 98: Missing
As the explosion came, the rooster's crowing echoed in the castle came to an abrupt end!
This was not something that the public address system could do, and both Darren and Hermione sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards the radio room, and before they could get there, they could already see the billowing smoke in the hallway.
Fearing danger, Darren grabbed Hermione and used the Wind Charm to dispel the smoke that filled the hallway and made sure there were no suspicious people inside before approaching the radio room.
"Oh my God, what's going on here?" Hermione exclaimed, standing in the door of the disarray of the radio studio, she had also operated the radio system at the end of her first year, but now she couldn't see what it used to be.
The previously bright door of the broadcast room had been blown away, leaving only one frame still smoking, and the room was littered with charred marks and still burning debris, heat and smoke churning outward from the holes in the doorway.
"Apparently, there's an explosion here, I'm guessing someone has attacked, and it's probably the 'heir', the basilisk can't figure it out!" Darren looked at the room and then turned and walked briskly towards the room next to the broadcast room.
Because Hogwarts is full of magical energy, the broadcasting system is certainly not computer-controlled, not even an electronic device, so the back door that Darren said is not a string of passwords or other lofty things, in fact, Dumbledore really did as Darren estimated, directly arranged protective magic on the door of the radio room, just like the headmaster's office, without his permission, no one except Professor McGonagall could enter.
The back door that Darren is talking about is a connection line pulled out of the console, but this line is more special, it can bypass the console and connect directly to the broadcast system, so it can broadcast without entering the broadcast room, it seems that the attacker didn't know about it, so he blew up the broadcast room, and in fact, the Weasley twins broadcast in the room next to the broadcast room, and fortunately, they were able to escape the disaster and not become a piece of splinters like the equipment in the broadcast room.
However, the power of this explosion was very large, and Darren estimated from the traces at the scene that it was almost the same as the one Peter released in Gryffindor Tower, so even through a wall, Fred and George were still shocked and fainted, if it weren't for the fact that the buildings of Hogwarts were magically strengthened and replaced with ordinary walls, I am afraid it would not be as simple as fainting.
After Darren checked the condition of the twin brothers for a while, he asked Hermione to shout at the door to send Fred and George to the medical wing, or let Mrs. Pomfrey check the insurance, who knows if there will be any sequelae when the twins are blown up.
There was a new attack, and the victim was a pure-blood wizard, such a big event, the carnival that had just started in the school naturally could not continue, Professor McGonagall, who heard the news, hurriedly checked the scene, and in front of Darren's eyes, began to issue instructions, "All students immediately return to their respective dormitories, all teachers return to the faculty lounge, please act immediately!"
Without a PA system, Professor McGonagall had to use his magic to amplify his voice while standing in the hallway, and then shouted, speaking of which, Hogwarts is really a typical example of "communication is basically by roaring, and transportation is basically by walking", which is the highest magical school in the United Kingdom......
Who was the attacker? Lockhart? Did he destroy the radio system after hearing the rooster crow?
Darren pondered what had just happened, and after meeting up with Hermione and the other students as Professor McGonagall had called, he walked towards the Gryffindor dormitory under the leadership of Professor Flitwick, only when he returned to the Gryffindor common room, he saw Percy standing at the door of the women's dormitory and looking in, with an anxious look on his face.
"Really, no? look for it again!"
"What are you doing?" Hermione was curious, the boys couldn't get into the girls' dormitory at Hogwarts, as many boys had proved from their own personal experience, and if they broke through, the stairs would turn into a smooth slide, allowing them to get back to the common room, and with Percy's grade, he couldn't have been unaware of this.
"Ginny! Ginny isn't in the break room, no one knows where she is!"
"What? Could it be that you missed her?"
"I counted three times in the common room, and I just asked Parvati to look for them in their bedroom, but there was no her. “
"Don't worry, maybe she's still in the classroom or in the hallway, the castle is so big. “
"No way, now all the students have no classes, except for the lounge and the auditorium, the classrooms are not open. “
Hearing the news of Ginny's disappearance, Hermione tried to comfort Percy, trying to calm him down, but unfortunately it didn't work well, after all, the Weasley twins had just been sent to the medical wing, and now their youngest child was missing again, or after the attack, no matter how you look at it, it is more than lucky.
Ginny is missing? Just after the attack, it's too coincidental, isn't it......
A barrage of questions appeared in Darren's mind, so much so that he didn't even notice when Harry came in, "Hurry up, I see that 'heir', let's go get him!"
"What? Do you see who the 'heir' is?"
"No, I didn't see his appearance clearly, but after the explosion, I saw his shadow in the hallway, still wearing the school uniform, it must be the 'heir', it can't be wrong. ”
"Really, did you see Ginny, was it with that guy?" Percy asked nervously as Percy rushed up to him at Harry's words.
"Ginny, I don't know, there was a lot of smoke in the corridor at that time, I didn't see it too clearly, I only saw a shadow, what happened to Ginny?"
"Ginny couldn't find her, she wasn't in the break room. ”
"Could it be that madman who took her away, he just attacked Fred and George, and Ginny is also named Weasley......"
"Damn, where's that bastard, we've got to get to him right now!"
"Ron is following him, and we see him going up the stairs on the third floor!"
"Third floor, is there ......?"
"It's the hallway in the myrtle's bathroom. ”
"Oh my God, you actually left him there alone, and it's only us, it's too dangerous, you should go to the professor, they can deal with the 'heir', and the basilisk!"
"Professor McGonagall just said that all the teachers are going back to the staff lounge, and we can find them there. ”
"You don't have to go to the staff lounge, the professor is outside. Suddenly, a voice said.
